Mythical, magical, intense, brutal, poignant . . . utterly brilliant.Fantasy Book Review
The battles are brutal and bloody, just as they should be (especially when you chuck giants, bears, draigs and huge wolf like beasts into the mix). All through the book it builds, the smaller battles leading towards bigger and bigger ones and leading to a climax that will knock you for six . . .don’t expect to come out of it with your heart in one piece.Ebookwyrm
Triumphant . . . A masterful thrill ride of a book.Dominish Fantasy Reviews
Dark, thrilling and bloody. But Ruin’s strongest point is, for me, its characters. The author takes character relationships crafted throughout the first two novels – between friends, family, loved ones and, especially, animals – and brings them beautifully to the fore without overstating them, whilst also forging new ones along the way.Half Strung Harp Reviews
